re: Severance Season 2 Discussion (Spoilers)

How long did Petey work at Lumon while being reintegrated?

At most 2 weeks, because he tells Mark in S1 he’s been reintegrated for 2 weeks and he had already stopped going to work at that point.

Did he have both memories while still going to work? Will Mark?

I don’t think we know for sure, but logically it seems like reintegration would work both ways. We at least know that he was making his map of the severed floor while he was inside. Hard to say how long he had been working on it though; it’s possible innie Petey was already working on the map before he reintegrated.

Making reintegration only work on the outside would create some pretty interesting / potentially awkward scenarios. Like.. imagine being Mark and remembering your innie’s actions every day, but being completely unable to control them. And then.. is his outtie conscious the whole time, like someone else is driving their body? Or is it like a dream that he remembers when he wakes up? That definitely strikes me as the kind of weird shite the show would try to explore. But I still think it’s more likely that he has full control.

I'm glad I got onto the show early... I didn't get into LOST until Season 5 and the threads/theories on here feel very much like that.


Has anyone stated how many seasons they are anticipating?

He and Ben also said that they’re fine adding additional seasons as Dan has written so much stuff that they could fill seasons with more development outside of the necessary story arc.

I just hope they don't drag it out further than it should. I'm very interested in how they are gonna shift the story and extend with Mark already being reintegrated E3.

I don’t think that will be an issue. It’s probably more if Apple says can you include an extra season since the ratings are so good? And then Ben and Dan add some stuff that would have been cut if they only had the minimum seasons. It won’t get into Pablo and Nikki Lost episode territory.

And to that point, the reason Lost had some filler episodes is because ABC wanted the show to never end, they were making so much money. Lindelof basically had to tell them that the show has to end. Execs don’t give a shite about quality of content.

I don’t see Ben and Dan just throwing in filler episodes, they would be part of the story. Those guys are too detail oriented.

Hope not... Have faith that they know what they are doing with the story, but hard to believe they can get more than this season and maybe one more out now that Mark has been reintegrated.

Unless it completely goes sideways ala LOST and we get time travel and the likes.

think the show is really about Kier and the cult and what it represents and the severed procedure is our introduction to that universe.

---

Possibly, but you’d think the main character would have to shift away from Mark and maybe to Helly or someone else for it to continue.

Who knows, I’m along for the ride though

The car thing is very strange. I thought maybe this was late 80’s or early 90’s based on that scene where Mark pulls up to work but multiple characters have cell phones. Definitely felt intentional to show the old cars.

It’s supposed to be ambiguous. I love the retro futurism vibe.

Remind me...Petey got unsevered right?
